Reading Week #3

I really loved reading this week. Being a conductor myself, I really could relate to these stories and loved hearing them. This book is such a great read. Not so much a lot of knowledge and content but sometimes a pick me up, sometimes full of insightful ideas. Right not I really needed to read about the rule of 6. It's getting close to our Spring Concert and I find myself getting stressed with that, college work, and Graduation for the HS seniors. All of these things are coming together quickly and I need to remember to play it cool and just relax. It always falls into place every year. So just like the executive put the rule of 6 in his office, I put a poster with a "6" on my piano as a reminder. When I feel myself getting too stressed, I look at that and remember the story. Take things as they come and don't be so stressed in life. It really works and will usually bring a smile to my face.

a little more info on myself

I graduated in Liberty University in 2008 with a Bachelor's of Music and Education. I moved back to Ohio and started working as a High School Choir Director and Asst. Band Director. If that isn't enough to handle already, I also find time to direct the Spring Musical and coach the Quiz Bowl Team. This year I just felt that my plate wasn't full enough (mind you I'm in this Master's program at Full Sail), that I just needed something else to fill all the extra time I have, so I decided my school needed a show choir. So needless to say, I think I have found something to do every waking moment of my day now. In the slight chance that I do have some extra time, I have started to develop a love for running (training for my first half marathon next summer).
